En français

The Romance languages (Wikipedia:Romance languages) include Catalan (ca), Occitan (oc), Asturian (ast), Spanish (es), French (fr), Galician (gl), Portuguese (pt), Romanian (ro) and Italian (it). The languages are related with varying levels of mutual intelligibility. Many of these languages are included in Apertium already.

Romance languages that are not yet covered in Apertium include Aromanian, Arpitan, Corsican, Friulan, Ladino, Leonese, Lombard, Mirandese, Neapolitan, Piedmontese, Romansh, Sicilian, Venetian and Walloon.

Status

The ultimate goal is to have multi-purposable transducers for a variety of Romance languages. These can then be paired for X→Y translation with the addition of a CG for language X and transfer rules / dictionary for the pair X→Y. Below is listed development progress for each language's transducers and dictionary pairs.

Table of existing pairs

Text in italics denotes language pairs in the incubator. Regular text denotes a developing language pair in nursery, while text in bold denotes a stable well-working language pair in trunk and text in bold and italics denotes a pair in staging. Bidix stems as counted with dixcounter are displayed below.
